Both to get Framework products and our mission in front of more people and to support organizations that are working to scale people-and-planet-friendly hardware and open source software to more of the world, we make a number of sponsorships each year. This is in the form of both monetary donations and product donations. The list below covers our sponsorships since the start of 2025, and we’ll continue to keep this up to date over time. Note that this list does not include products sent for marketing use (e.g. press units and marketing activations at events) or R&D use (e.g. pre-release units sent under NDA or production units sent to open source software developers and maintainers at Linux distros and other open source software organizations and hardware developers in the Framework community).
We’re sharing this not just for visibility, but also because we want your help in identifying other organizations we can sponsor to help support open source software and hardware development among a broader base of developers and makers and to amplify our mission. If you have recommendations, please let us know by nominating the organization through this form. We can’t promise that we’ll be able to fund each one, but we will explore every nomination.

That’s a pretty heated (and polarized) discussion that seems to have blown up quite recently and is still ongoing.
My take (based on a limited reading) is that framework didn’t fully vet every single dev in every single open source project (including some big and widely deployed projects) they offered support to.
It will be interesting to see how this ends.

Yeah I would have expected some kind of response from them at this point. Very concerning.

Obviously.
But I also don’t like to rush to judgement based on partial/incomplete information or accusations that only look at one side of the story.
Which is why I asked for a link to further information and context.
